So no late additions for the BIg Year 2022 from me.

I have been looking at my totals since I was first involved (as a non-birder!)

 

	UK	Total
2016	135	240
2017	163	228
2018	151	463
2019	106	551
2020	125	257
2021	140	140
2022	154	194

 

So the second lowest overall total, and the second highest UK total. We had some cat health issues after our return from Portugal  so were not able to get out as much as we might have done.

But we look forward to 2023!

My favourite bird of 2022 to finish with - Short-eared Owl on North Uist

Someone else whose biggest year was 2019! Again, very impressive uk totals.

[TonyQ]

@Tdgravesthank you

My highest UK scores have all involved trips to Scotland!

[Tdgraves]

If I ever get bored, I’ll add up my uk totals. Maybe this year I’ll do a separate count….

Well done for 2022 Tony, and I really like those SE Owl pictures.

I always enjoy your Big Years a lot Tony, and this one was no different. Many beautiful photos presented! I´m looking forward to your next one.

[PeterHG]

Beautiful photos of the SE Owl, @TonyQ! That’s one I missed this year.

[Peter Connan]

What a beautiful way to finish Tony! Love your work.

[pedro maia]

It was indeed a great finnish Tony!

 Congratulations on a great year. Might not be as high as others but a great UK total and some beautiful photos
